What makes a good proton conductor?

MIT researchers developed a model to predict how well materials can conduct protons, showing performance depends, in part, on the flexibility of a material's oxide ions. Here, two oxide-ions (red) contract to enable transfer of a proton (white) between them.

A new approach to carbon capture could slash costs

“At room temperature, the solution can absorb more CO2, and with mild heating it can release the CO2. There is an instant pH change when we heat up the solution a little bit,” Youhong (Nancy) Guo says.

When companies “go green,” air quality impacts can vary dramatically

MIT researchers found that industry’s actions to shrink their carbon footprint — like buying renewable electricity or reducing air travel — can both cut CO₂ emissions but have very different impacts on overall air quality.
